Fiat 125p — Big Fiat

The Fiat 125p was a large and comfortable car, designed for family trips, company outings, and finally spacious enough to sleep in the back seat, which distinguished it from the heroic but modest Maluch. The Fiat 125p, or Polski Fiat, first appeared on the roads in 1967, winning the hearts of the next generation of PRL citizens with its four-cylinder gasoline engine and rear-wheel drive. The car was the successor to the Warszawa, which had become somewhat outdated in the era of rampant modernization, the ultimate proof of which was the Rolling Stones concert in April of that year. A new era thus required new solutions.

The Polski Fiat, also known as the Big Fiat, was a simplified version of the Fiat 125, with technical solutions borrowed by the Fabryka Samochodów Osobowych from the Fiat 1300 and 1500. Throughout its production, the Polski Fiat was modernized, which is particularly evident in models from 1975. So, 1975 was not a period of change only for FSO – the then Minister of Transport also kept up with the times, ordering the introduction of a new license plate design.

However, our Big hero had little time left in the limelight, as in 1978 its rival and successor, the Polonez, appeared on the scene. Both models were produced simultaneously until 1991, when the last Fiat 125p rolled off the production line – the last car, incidentally in cherry color, was like a cherry on top, crowning the model's colorful career. In 24 years of continuous production, almost 1.5 million units were produced, of which almost 600,000 were exported to about 80 countries.
